Roo's Playhouse lives in the Greenwood Mall. I am sure it is popular with all the military families and if my family lived closer I could see us coming here all the time. It is a bargain at only $5 per kid to have your kid play here all day. There is a track with peddle cars, ballpit, inflatable pirate ship bouncy castle, climbing wall and lots of other things to keep the kids busy. I have been here with the kids for several hours and it always have to pull them out when it is time to leave. There is plenty of seats and tables for parents and wifi.
They also allow outside food and drink so you can get a Tim's from the Mall and bring in with you.
The staff are friendly, engaged and good with kids which is not a give in at some places. They also seem to keep busy tidying up after the kids and washing toys. The lady that was on duty in the play area pushed my little guy on a swing.
They are the only playplace I have ever seen that offers a child minding service. This is $5 a kid per hour. You are not supposed to leave the mall while your kid is being cared for.
The only things I could knock it for was that the place is showing a lot of wear and tear and could do with some freshening up. I also don't like the arcade games- there is a gallery of them right by the play area for little kids. They run in loud demo mode so that you can hear bloops and bleeps all over the place. The way things are set up you have to pass right by them to get to the play area and the game subject matter are not suitable for young kids. They also have lots of candy and junk right by the check out at eye level for kids. I don't like the suggestive selling to kids and it can make it hard to leave. read more
